A challenging holiday

Are you bored with spending 1._________ holidays with your parents? Are you unhappy 2._________ somebody else telling you what your day should look 3__________? Are you in for a challenge? The Artistic Minitechnicus can be the change you are looking 4____________!

As the venue of the camp we have chosen the small Northumberland town of Alnwick, 5__________ was used as an exterior location for making the first Harry Potter movie and which has been declared to be the best place to live in the United Kingdom. The market town, also known for 6__________ medieval castle (also used in the movie as Harry Potter's wizardry school), has come to the top in a survey published in British Country Life magazine. Come and enjoy the Hogwarthian atmosphere!

We are offering you the chance to meet the most 7___________ people: pragmatic artists, ingenious scientists, spirited jesters and playful teachers. They all get 8___________ once a year not only to cherish  9__________ other's company, but also to accomplish a fabulous project. What they do and what they experience ultimately contributes 10__________ everyone's personal development.

Prove that you too can join the club of the brainiest! You will find enclosed in the envelope the two conditions for your admittance.

Should you have a younger brother/sister that you can persuade to come along, you get a 50% discount.

It's no wizardry, come and build the magic yourself!

II. You convinced your twelve-year-old brother to go with you. He was so thrilled about it that he wanted to share the news with a pen-friend in Australia. Hmm. More work for you! Now you have to help him clean up his letter. Find the mistakes and underline them. Rewrite each corrected part in the space provided on the answer sheet.

Dear Mike, Thanks for your last letter. I've got an incredible news for you! Guess what? I'm going to spend ten days in Harry Potter's school of magic in the town of Alnwick. Did you knew that the entire movie was filmed there? Since I have seen the film the first time, I have wanted to visit the place. The other day, while I did my homework, my brother came into the room and showed me a leaflet. I immediately recognized Harry's school, but thought it was just another book. The big surprise was that, in fact, we will be going there on a camp. I know my brother for a lifetime and he still amazes me!!! My brother always was the artist in the family and laughed at me for playing with tools all the time. But now it seems he can't go without me and my technical skills. We are going to form so a great team that I hope we will win the prize for the best project. I am such anxious to go! I'll tell you more about it when we will come back. Lots of my love, Ionut

Now, that you have convinced your little brother, you have to concentrate on the two admittance tasks.
